[Twisted-Python] Twisted Python 0.7.0 Prerelease Testing
by Glyph Lefkowitz 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

hi there, folks: I'd really like to release 0.7.0 but I would like it to be at least a little bit tested before I do so. Could those of you with CVS trees check everything out and see if it performs as advertised? Deeper bugs than that will have to wait for the next release, but I'd at least like to know if it works for someone other than me. Thanks. ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://www.twistedmatrix.com/~glyph/

[Twisted-Python] PATCH: adbapi.py string escaping
by Dave Peticolas 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

The 'safe' function in twisted.enterprise.adbapi escapes single quotes, but I know at least Postgres and MySQL also accept backslash escapes, which means embedded backslashes need to be escaped as well, or they will be removed. The attached patch escapes embedded backslashes. I haven't tested it on databases other than Postgres or MySQL. dave

[Twisted-Python] ImportError: cannot import name dns
by Tony Blake 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Hello all, I have just started to work with Twisted and am having some difficulty with 1.0.1. (I am not a Python veteran either ;) I downloaded the latest Twisted release for Win32 (Twisted-1.0.1.win32-py2.2.exe). It installed fine. But when running the 'coil' script, I receive the following error: ======================= Traceback (most recent call last): File "coil.py", line 30, in ? run() File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\twisted\scripts\coil.py", line 89, in run p.load() File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\twisted\python\plugin.py", line 40, in load return namedModule(self.module) File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\twisted\python\reflect.py", line 372, in namedModule topLevel = __import__(name) File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\twisted\coil\plugins\names.py", line 21, in ? from twisted.names import dns ImportError: cannot import name dns ============================= In the directory twisted.names, there isn't a dns.py. It's not in the UNIX build either. Downloaded 1.0.0, and the dns.py is there. It runs fine. Do you have to install 1.0.0 and then 1.0.1 over it? Thanks for any help in advance, Tony __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[Twisted-Python] async hostname resolution
by Jp Calderone 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Diff for twisted/internet/base.py's resolve() function to make it perform lookups asynchronously using the new stuff in twisted/names/client.py. I removed the type argument, since it complicates implementation for other reactors, isn't really useful in 99% of cases, and never worked when set to anything other than A (1) anyway. Maybe it should be deprecated first for a while, but I doubt anyone's using it anyway so it may not matter. Jp -- <Greatnuts> someone gave me bad advice this morning <Greatnuts> told me to use twm <Greatnuts> had to reformat <Greatnuts> just to get it off -- 10:00pm up 21 days, 8:53, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

[Twisted-Python] broken link: http://twistedmatrix.com/page.epy/philosophy.html
by Erik Myllymaki 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

An article with the folowing summary was linked form the librenix.com site to http://twistedmatrix.com/page.epy/philosophy.html "Twisted Python began as just a Python implementation of Twisted Reality; a framework for multiplayer text-based interactive fiction. Having previously had experience mostly with Java and C++, I was amazed by the amount flexibility and self-awareness that Python had. When a 20,000 line project went to approximately 3,000 lines overnight, and came out being more flexible and robust once it had been completed, I realized I was on to something really good. " Any idea where I can find this article these days? thanks.

[Twisted-Python] Where is Python being taught in Australia?
by Jan Smith 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Hi all, I am compiling of list of institutions teaching Python for the OzZope web site - the Australian Zope Interest Group. Could you tell me where Python is being taught in Australia? It would be great to have an up to date list. Sometimes the subject is not specifically python but python is taught as part a course. Any course including python is what I'm looking for. Also any places that may be teaching Zope. Either reply to. mailto:webadministrator@ozzope.org Many thanks Jan Smith www.ozzope.org Australian Zope Interest Group

[Twisted-Python] apploader patch
by Samuel Bronson 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Heres my apploader patch, which factors the .{py,ta[psx]} loading code out of a few of the scripts and into twisted.internet.apploader. It could use a good deal of work, but I'm a bit busy right now so I'm sending as-is. Note that it seems to work okay. --SamB

[Twisted-Python] Various issues that need fixing
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

ASAP: 1. Website template needs to be updated to have same links to docs as I did for front page (and some way to automate it so you don't need to change on every version would be nice). 2. We need to build exe for 1.0.1. bdist_wininst on Unix is *not* good enough, there's a hardcoded check for its running on win32. Not as urgent: 1. Man pages for lore have wrong title, apparently. 2. Examples page links to obsolete examples, such as inetd.py -- Itamar Shtull-Trauring http://itamarst.org/ Available for Python, Twisted, Zope and Java consulting ***> http://VoteNoWar.org -- vote/donate/volunteer <***
